Birded the Spit today - the sun was shining but the iced-over water made for far fewer ducks and gulls than usual. Apart from the Larks, the Oregon Junco was a pretty good rarity (assuming it was one - please see the attached photo, with apologies for including this here instead of in the Bird ID forum).
